Was this the best rivalry in sports? Guaranteed fights every time and high intensity throughout. Plus they were always good during it.
I'm talking best rivalry between the players. Not this shit where fans kill each other over their teams. These players hated each other.

Lol of course not
> best rivalry in sports
Nope.
>>65808006
Soccer need not apply. It isn't a sport.
>>65808010
In longevity I agree, but this rivalry was so exciting compared to other "rivalries" which are boring and the players are all friends.
>>65807997
Yes, it is.
Nothing compares to the intensity of those games.
Unless a Southpark episode was made about a rivalry, it ain't shit.

Ike's friends were killed by the Detroit Red Wings because the Avs chickened out of the game
>>65807997
It really was I think. Yankees-Red Sox was (is) always good, but Wings-Avs was on another level, as the rivalry featured players who hated each other, and probably the two best teams of that era (Devils too). It was GOAT.
The Boston rivalries are the best in sport
Is this the Alumni game thread?
>>65807997
the greatest rivalry is ohio state - michigan
you have to be a literal retard to claim anything else
>>65814568
Overall, that's correct. But they only meet once a year. The 1996-2002 rivalry between the avs and wings was a lot more heated.

I am definitely not watching that NHL network feed from the stream. I moved out from my room where it's nice and warm to watch the Fox Sports Detroit feed in the living room. Not missing this one for anything.

I hope Forsberg's ankles hold up. I remember him wrecking shit after he had his spleen taken out.

Yeah, foreigners can no longer
>tfw no Belle Tire gf
with us anymore.
>>65807997
No but fuck did I despise the Avs back then, fucking Roy, Sakic, Foote
Red Wings should've won more Stanley Cups, at least the Avs are irrelevant now

>>65814740
Thanks.
Sportsnet uses FSD feed so it's win-win
Should we use this as alumni game threa or make new?

It's not an American sport and no OP, this isn't even the best rivalry in hockey
>>65815213
Masterb8er. We'll give you some alone time for awhile
>>65815267
nah dude Avs and wings in the prime were better than this garbage
>>65815213
The whole point of college is getting an education. Who gives a flying fuck about amateur """""athletes"""""? Neither Ohio State or Michigan is anywhere near the best football team in the country.
>>65815291
pls the Wings-Avs rivalry hasn't been relevant in like 15 years. Didn't even last a fucking decade lol.
>>65815267
You probably aren't old enough to remember, but Wings-Avs shits all over Habs-Bruins, even the classic 80's Habs-Bruins that I grew up with. No comparison bro.
>It's not an American sport
Relax sperg, Americans aren't claiming it is and Euro's don't give a fuck either way
>>65814653
My room is always cold too. Idk y. Only room in the whole house that's cold. Might be cause I tried to sound proof my vents for fapping awhile back. Life's challenges, ya know?
>>65815349
It is funny he said that, because there are Europeans that like hockey as well. It isn't like it is only a NA sport.
>>65815349
Idc how ebin it was. It didn't even last a whole decade and the Avalanche have been Hurricanes levels of irrelevant since Sakic retired
>>65807997
Flyers Pens is better and is very alive and well
>>65815267
Impling it's not quebec-montreal
Holy fuck people actually think avs-red wings is more intense and historic than habs bruins???
Avs red wings maybe had a rivalry going for 5 years tops habs bruins have hated eachother for a century
>>65814841
Bengals-steelers are chimpouts
Red Wings-Avs was the most hatred I've ever seen between two teams
>>65817885
>implying the Habs and Bruins were top-class, best teams in all of hockey for a century
Fuck off faggot
I concur with OP.
>>65817885
>habs-bruins
Habs-Nordiques from shits all over that in terms of intensity. Flames-Oilers too.
>>65818041
Thanks man. Avs/wings was based and I want it back. Players fighting seconds into a game and shit.
